# Facebook data API for AI agents

looot lists the Facebook operations of several data providers in one catalog. An agent reads a public page, lists posts of a page or public group, reads page reviews, or searches the Meta Ad Library by keyword or company.

## Jobs an agent does

- See which ads a competitor runs right now in the Meta Ad Library.
- Read recent posts of a public group to catch what members ask.
- Collect page reviews to see what customers praise or dislike.
- Check a business page profile before a partnership.
- Fetch a transcript for a video ad to study its script.

## Operations by job

- Meta Ad Library: Ads a company runs across Facebook and Instagram, ad details and ad transcripts.
- Reviews: Public recommendations left on a business page.
- Pages and profiles: The public profile of a business page: name, followers, details.
- Groups and posts: Recent posts of a public group or page, and one post with its engagement counts.

## How the providers differ

The Ad Library is the deepest part. Scrape Creators returns one company's current ads, searches by keyword, fetches an ad by id and can transcribe a video ad. Adyntel starts from a company domain, and SearchAPI.io separates ad search from page search. For group and page posts, look at the AnyAPI operations, which take a URL.

## Prompt

Use looot to list the ads that example.com runs in the Meta Ad Library, show the ad text and start date for each, and show the price of every call first. Setup is in skill.md.

## What Facebook data can an agent read through looot?

Public page profiles, page and group posts, single posts with engagement counts, business page reviews, and the Meta Ad Library for ads on Facebook and Instagram.

## Do I need a Meta developer app or a Facebook login?

No. Your agent calls the operations with a looot key. These read public data, so no Facebook session or app review is involved.

## How do I find the ads of one company?

Use a company ads operation. Some take a company domain, others a page id or a company name. Each returns the ads currently running with their text and dates.

## Can I get the transcript of a video ad?

Yes. One operation returns a transcript for a single Ad Library video ad by id or link, when Facebook exposes captions for it.

## Can an agent read private groups?

No. The group operations read public groups only, so private groups are not covered.

## Why do several providers offer the Meta Ad Library?

Each wraps the library with its own inputs and paging. Some search by keyword, some start from a domain. Compare the input line and price, then pick the one that matches the question.

## How does my agent call a Facebook operation?

It connects to looot once, searches the catalog for the job, reads the input fields and the price, then runs the operation. Setup takes one line from skill.md, and the same key works for every provider.

## How is a Facebook call billed?

Per call, at the price shown on this page for that operation. The agent sees the price before the run, and the run is recorded with its cost in your ledger.

## Where do I find the full input and output fields?

Each operation has a reference page on docs.looot.ai with its input fields, an example call and the response. The For agents card on this page links the cheapest ones.

## Are the prices on this page current?

They are read from the live looot catalog every few minutes, so they change when a provider changes its price. When the catalog cannot be read, the page shows no numbers.

## Which Facebook operation should I start with?

Start with the cheapest operation in the job you need, which is listed first in its group. Check that it returns the fields your agent reads, and switch to another provider if it does not.
